Chapter 38: A Sudden New Task
The little Count stood quietly beside him, watching his enemy struggling desperately like a clown, as if he didn't care about the Shadow Assassin's reaction.
"According to our tradition, we should not be hired by others during the hiring period." The Shadow Assassin said with a serious face, and Antoine's eyes lit up as he said.
However, the Shadow Assassin, who stretched out a finger, shook his finger: "But there is only one exception, that is, when the employer is unable to pay the promised reward, the Shadow Assassin will choose the right way to recover the losses."
"But I still have the ability to pay!" Antoine roared excitedly: "Not counting my treasure, but my land deed! Even if the income from the port is just about it! Just two weeks is enough to pay your commission!"
Shadow Assassin stretched out his hand to signal the former employer to calm down: "The problem is here. You haven't had two weeks. My lord, in fact, you haven't even had two days! Your treasure is only enough to pay my previous salary, and the land deeds will be worthless immediately. Because at this time tomorrow, the city will be completely destroyed as the Lord Lord said."
"What!" Antoine's face seemed to be punched, and her facial features were squeezed together.
"For the sake of you being my former employer, I'll let you be a wise ghost." The Shadow Assassin coughed lightly: "Since you asked me to start investigating the purpose of the Demon Hunter, I started to start from the direction of cultists. After all, the Demon Hunter, their biggest hobby is to kill Chaos believers and Chaos monsters. What else can attract the attention of the Demon Hunter more than Chaos? Especially when there are news of cultists appearing in the city?"
"I didn't expect that the first thing I discovered was that our Lord Lord was actually mixed up with these cultists in private. I originally wanted to warn you and exchange for some extra income." The Shadow Assassin said this, it seemed like a pity: "But unfortunately, when I discovered that they had planned to destroy the entire city, they had almost completed it. Sorry, even if I joined forces with the Demon Hunters, I probably wouldn't have time to stop them. So, the following is the question of how to stop the loss."
Shadow Assassin's expression of cooperating with Chaos was also helpless, which made Antoine's heart completely lower into the bottom.
————————————————————————————
When the lord was lying infernal Affairs, in the chaotic crack, the female warrior who had turned on a violent posture waved the shackles and shouted and activated the skill. The shackles instantly shone with an unknown blood light, and they shot a plague warrior like a knock on an egg. The metal helmet failed to have any protective effect. The scattered brains were quickly absorbed by the platform under her feet, but a brand new head was born on the branches next to her like a fruit.
(Reckless Strike: Launch a power-calculating attack, causing 1.5 times the damage.)
Taking advantage of the warrior's ability to pick his head, the unabated female warrior did not waste time. He charged again, allowing a corrupt archer to use his body to block the heavy weapons that were slashed over with the momentum. This fully reflects the huge gap in power between the two - the enemy was bombarded by a huge impact force and the weapon with people to the outside of the platform!
The female warrior crushed the audience with the increase of [Furious] for a moment. Xu Yichen did not waste time and rushed towards the black-robed priest at a speed beyond his imagination. Now he only hopes that the weapons in his hand can cause effective damage to the enemy leader in front of him. At the same time, he expects that the enemy has some self-control and is a little rational, and will not be as dedicated as his subordinates, treating mutations as eating and drinking water.
Otherwise, he could only expect the mysterious necklace in his hand to have unexpected results. The difficulty of the task was made to the highest level by himself, and he could only expect the plot to be killed. It would be difficult to make a difference with the strength of the two of them alone. However, the years of education in the school made Xu Yichen understand that he should never put his last hope on the basis that the enemy would make mistakes.
At the last moment when the blade was about to be put on, the man in the black robe was indeed the leader of these mutant monsters. The sharp saber cut through the gorgeous black robe. The touch of the clothes seemed like steel, which made the weapon in Xu Yichen stop there.
The huge sense of danger made Xu Yichen roll and dodge to the side quickly, as if the steel cable stretched to the limit broke and blew, and the sound of bursting air sounded in his ears!
The man in black robe who had taken off his disguise finally revealed his true face. A large pool of rotten flesh covered with tentacles, barely combining human shapes. The wriggling tentacles emerged from various parts of the "body". The densely woven tiny tentacles twisted together like meridians and blood vessels to form his feet. The broken black robe was dyed in a different color; the hands were just a few tentacles. This strange-looking creature actually had a human-like head - a huge eyeball, which replaced his head - exposed fangs and flat jaws, which grew directly on this huge eye.
"Ignorous mortals! How dare I stop my Lord's pace? The world will eventually feel the care of the kind father!" The alienated leader roared, and stretched out his limbs, like a spider, supporting his entire body with his tentacles.
"You looked directly at the vanguard of the God of Chaos - Nurgre, and were affected by the 'chaotic shock' effect, and made a round of will judgment. If you cannot pass, you will not be able to move within 5 seconds."
"You have entered the 'plague realm' range and make a round of physical fitness judgment every 60 seconds. If you fail, you will randomly obtain 1 to 3 disease effects."
"You have passed the will judgment with extraordinary will, the firm belief hidden in your soul, leaving you fearless, and you temporarily gain the 'hero' effect, and be immune to any mental impact within 5 minutes."
"Because you have the talent of [Never Invade All Diseases], you are immune to the effect of the 'plague realm'."
With the transformation of the man in black robe, Xu Yichen's retina was prompted by various systems for a while. Fortunately, it seems that he is immune to the impact of all negative environments.
Then, a sudden system message suddenly refreshed.
